Brent's school experience

All of our kids are now in their respective schools. The girls are at Lakeland Christian Academy here in Warsaw while Brent attends Madison Elementary School. They are adjusting to life here in "gringolandia" as we call it. Plenty of adjustments but they are doing well. Although they look like "gringos" our kids definitely see themselves as more Mexican than anything else! So it has been a real adjustment for them.

Our son Brent recently had a cool experience at school. He had to share about his favorite book. He chose the Bible; author, God. So he takes his Bible to school and gets up in front of the whole classroom and shares about his favorite book. No, this wasn't something that we pushed him to do. This came totally from his own heart. We quite convinced that Brent has the gift of evangelism as we hear his comments and observe his life.

We're very grateful for the youth group at our church here. Great group of kids and excellent Bible teaching! Kaylyn and Kathryn have begun to get involved and make friends there as well as at school. They are growing in the midst of a LOT of upheaval in their lives.

Thanks for praying for our kids these days. I know they appreciate your prayers!
